Introduction: Advanced Hair Studio India is a part of the global conglomerate - Advanced Hair Studio, widely acclaimed as the world’s largest hair restoration and hair retention company.

Advanced Hair Studio established by Carl Anthony Howell, started its operations back in 1970 with their first hair studio in Florida, United States. International cricketers such as Shane Warne, Sourav Ganguly, Jacques Kallis are amongst its list of clientele.

History:

Established in 1970 in Florida, United States. Till 1973, the company had formed around 35 studios across US. The company was the first permanent hair replacement and hair loss solutions chain that was having its operations around the world. Advanced Hair Studio, now, has more than 300+ studios  and alliances across the world and asserts to have treated more than a million people. The company has its headquarters in London & Melbourne.

In 2008, with its first studio in Mumbai, Advanced Hair Studio made its move to India and gradually expanded to 9 locations spread across the metro and mega cities of the country. In an interview with Business Standard, Sanket Shah, CEO of Advanced Hair Studio, India & Middle East expressed about his expansion plan with an investment of around Rs. 250 crores in Middle East & the Indian sub-continent.

The Problem:

Hair loss is seen as a common problem especially among men. Earlier, not a lot of people paid much attention to their falling hair. But, now the time has changed and the trend has evolved. According to an article in Herald Keeper by Market Research Future, the CEO of Advanced Hair Studio, Sanket Shah said, “the trend of hair transplant has increased in young or mid age population as, 80% of our clients are between the age group of 20-40 years.” This depicts a drift in the trend where people have now got more focused towards their appearance. Though, the technology has vastly improved in the past few decades, treatments for hair loss or baldness have emerged but still they have failed to deliver 100% results.

Competitors:

DHI Global Medical Group is another name in the hair restoration and replacement industry. It has been in existence for over 45+ years and is headquartered in London.
